Fort
Smith School District
TThrough
a collaborative effort, the Fort Smith
Public Schools, area businesses, families,
and the community will ensure that all
Fort Smith children are better prepared
emotionally, socially, and academically
for a successful kindergarten experience.
The
Fort Smith Public School District's 21C
Program provides outreach to the parents
of infants, toddlers, and preschool children
who are not already being served by the
Parents As Teachers program.
As of January,
2004, there are approximately 200 children
who are receiving FSPS 21C services. Each
month, age- appropriate developmental
materials are sent to the families' homes
to give parents information that will
assist them in their role as their child's
first and most important teacher.
The
Fort Smith 21C Program also offers free
Right From Birth ã parenting classes
to local business, religious organizations,
day care centers, and other groups. The
Right From Birth ã parenting program
is comprised of 12 sessions - each relating
to a child's social, emotional, and physical
development.
